Baru is a picture perfect paradise with its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters, tucked away lagoons and coral reefs, that will blow your mind. The all-inclusive Decameron Baru is the perfect mix of beachy oasis and quiet cool. One of the prettiest beaches in Columbia, Playa Blanca, is just steps from the resort. You're still close to Cartagena that you can venture in there to tour the historical sites, then retreat back to this oasis in Baru.

wonderful place
we loved it had great time, nice people throughout , no vendors bothered anyone at beach. even at playa blanch we went for a day no problem at all, great people , fantastic resort
Beautiful and clean location, but I would advise getting the safety deposit box if you select to stay at this resort.
There was music throughout the day which I liked.
There were several blackouts per day although only lasting a few minutes at best.
The low flow commodes were an issue especially at night when the water pressure was so low you couldn't wash your hands.
Staff was friendly but I would not suggest exchanging currency for them.
All and all, I had a great time because I will make the best of most situations but I couldn't recommend the resort to anyone.
To get to hotel was a trek as the road from the main artery was not paved. The room was at best average, the kind of room that you will find n a motel 6 but clean. White sand beaches and the warm water was very good. The entertainment was on point as the focus was on the world cup of soccer. The front desk was not too helpful as there was limited English speaking and even when the information was given in Spanish it was not accurate. The food at the buffet was ok and the theme dinning was at best mediocre.
The only great thing was the entertainment. Room at best average. It was like a motel 6 room, clean but uncomfortable. The food at the buffet was ok but at the restaurants below average. Pool and beach of, weather almost perfect. English was not spoken by anybody at the front desk
